Safety notes

1.4 Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations

Places that are difficult to access
If you do not use appropriate protective equipment when working in places that are difficult
to access you are at risk of injury. For example, sharp edges and splinters can cause injuries
to the head and skin. If you use unsuitable steps when working on the upper areas of the
drive, you can fall and injure yourself.
● Use appropriate protective equipment, especially a hard hat and gloves.
● In the upper areas of the drive, use suitable steps.
Coolant
The coolant is harmful to eyes and skin and can damage surfaces.
Therefore, wear appropriate protective clothing for all work on the inverter. However, if your
eyes or skin do come into contact with coolant, rinse the affected area thoroughly with tap
water as soon as possible. If coolant leaks, eliminate the source of the problem and remove
the liquid from the surfaces affected.
1.4 Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, These devices can
malfunction if electromagnetic fields are present.
Interference with pacemakers
The functioning of cardiac pacemakers could be impaired by electromagnetic fields. Death
or serious physical injury can result.
People with pacemakers are therefore not allowed to stay close to the drive.
NOTICE
Data loss
Electromagnetic fields can cause data loss to magnetic or electronic data storage media.
Therefore, do not carry magnetic or electronic data storage media with you.
For nominated persons in control of an electrical installation, you can find further information
on electromagnetic fields under "Information for nominated persons in control of an electrical
installation."
